HOI4 Cornflakes 1.5.2 BETA patch [checksum: f49b]

[puppet on a string]

beta update today?

 

[Bratyn]

Thanks, I'll wait for 1.5.2 then, any chance to add "bypass" for "Align Romania/Hungary" if they are already in your faction or the same ideology with you? It causes a huge mess with Romania sliding into Civil War.

This is already done and should be updated to the beta today.

In my 1.5.2 game, an admiral went from level 1 to 6 but did not earn a single trait point

also please do something about nukes and rockets, currently it is not really worth investing in the tech and buildings for either of them

nukes do not have the same effect they did before 1.5, and rockets do not do enough infra damage to be worth using

Agree.

I did a suggestion about nukes: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/nukes-should-be-useful-heres-how.1083490/

Another game, another soviet capitulation. Tagging in to change their Reinforcement and Upgrade setting to High has two games in a row helped them last until late 1944, so that's progress. Spain is a huge problem in all these games, they really should not join Axis for multiple reasons, in Historical mode. Allies can't clear up Africa as it is, and with the added manpower to the Axis and loss of Gibraltar it's a nail in the coffin for Soviet getting any kind of aid. By 1944 the situation should REALLY not look like it does in all my latest games.

I don't believe the issue is Germany itself, though. They can fight until they have no mapower at all, so something else is the issue here, might be Italy. Allies sure can't break them either out of Africa or even break into Italy itself. I'm getting a bit flustered playing at the moment.

@podcat Annexing Czecheslovakia no longer drops infantry equipment in 1.5.2_beta.

This is already done and should be updated to the beta today.

Please make sure that Legionnaris Romania is also included in integrated war economy focus of Germany. Last time I checked, Legionaris Romania wasnt applicable for the bonus. which is kinda weird.

At every next game start, the loading process skips the naval distance calculations by just loading the cached data.

 

[puppet on a string]

this is a very nice update, i will check it out later on

is there any chance we will be getting a few more generals in 1.5.2, or a proper fascist leader for non-vichy france?

 

[RedArmy]

This is cosmetic but I see that in this new patch 6445 the communist Roman Empire still has a bad pseudo-latin meaningless name : https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-4-latin-translation-of-roman-empire.1083195/

Easy and quick to fix.

Oh I love it!​

@TomaszKowalczyk
@Bratyn

i know you guys hate me pinging you but i have mentioned at least twice now that the division names in the history files need updating too, or the game will just produce duplicate division names with different spelling variants

so in ENG_1936.txt and ENG_1939.txt you need to add the changes already made to ENG_names_divisions.txt

also why is '3ème Div. d'Inf. Coloniale' hashed out in FRA_1936.txt and '181a Div. d'infanterie Africaine' in FRA_1939.txt? this is a question not a criticism, i have no idea where they should be in the OOB but noticed they were hashed out ###

i am just pointing this out so it is correct before you release the final patch, so i apologize for being annoying!

also the grammar changes made to FRA_names_divisions.txt should also be added to FREN_names_divisions.txt

PS: the '7th Armoured Division' should be called the 'Mobile Division (Egypt)'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7th_Armoured_Division_(United_Kingdom)

MEFO is getting rebalanced and I have fixed the issues in the French lists (not all though - the French DO have Parachute Divisions and Separate Airbonre Divisions because nothing is ever simple)

true, but you are prioritizing 1950s parachute divisions over 1940s airborne divisions; i'd have assumed the ones formed earlier (end of the war and immediately post-war) would take precedence, but i realize that both were used

so you could argue that 25th should be an airborne division rather than a parachute divisions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_paratrooper_units#Parachute_Divisions

good work on the beta anyway, things are coming together nicely!

i do think a full marine division template for italy would make sense though, because even though historically they only raised a couple of regiments, in game anything can happen and the player is encouraged to make good use of marines as italy

ITA_MAR_02 = 
{
    name = "Marine Division"

    for_countries = { ITA }

    can_use = { always = yes }

    division_types = { "marine" }

    # Number reservation system will tie to another group.
    #link_numbering_with = { ITA_MAR_01 }

    fallback_name = "%da Divisione Marine"

    # Names with numbers (only one number per entry). 
    # It's okay to have gaps in numbering.
    ordered =
    {
        1 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        2 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        3 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        4 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        5 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        6 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        7 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        8 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        9 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        10 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        11 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        12 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        13 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        14 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        15 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        16 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        17 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        18 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        19 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
        20 = { "%da Divisione Marine" }
    }
}

just a suggestion, ignore if you don't like it

 

[Tharkun]

Is this playable or should I wait until it's official?

 

[Louella]

@podcat sorry to be a bore about this, but is there any progress on the female ace generation, and fixing the ace news events so they work properly ?
The last version that had the ace death notifications was 1.3, I think, and female ace generation has never worked properly since launch, I've bugreported it several times.
Sorry to keep asking about this, I just want aces to work properly, because I have ideas about mods that would use aces to do things, and it's frustrating.
